i used to not Really like uts but its one of those albums which grows on you and you find yourself coming back to it! my first album was ootc and i loved it but gos is also good. my least fave would be go insane but only because its the album with themost tracks that i skip!

I just want to say.........I can see what Louie meant about UTS. I hated the thing upon release. But it was a grower.....a slow grower. Can't behind GI though. what a mess I've tried over and over and over.......and Over. Cannot like the damn thing. I loathe it. Loathe is a bit strong......nah that's about right

Really? Now I can't really participate because I have yet to hear the majority of LB's solo work but the song "Go Insane" is what got me interested in his solo work. I heard it and thought it was fantastic!

The other songs off that album I have heard are "I Want You" and "I Must Go" and I think those are excellent as well!

It's ok it's all taste. One day when I was playing GI, The wife asked me if it came with Tylenol

Again, I always have to force myself to vote when it comes to Lindsey because he can't do anything wrong for me.

However, UTS is the one album which I alternate between loving and finding it a bit irritating. I am in a "loving it" mood at the moment but still had to vote for it.

The other 4 are always stupendous IMO.

I opened this thread intending to be ruthless and vote for an album. It turns out I'm spineless and just can't do it. I love them all individually and equally for how different they are. Granted, they may not be universally loved, but that's fine because they are to me. I suppose if I had to rank the albums and pick out one which maybe I wouldn't listen to as much as the others, I would (very) reluctantly pick Gift Of Screws. But that hurts because I love it. I just love the others even more.

I suppose all I can do to choose is by a game of Ip Dip Doo. *Goes off to play the game to find an odd one out*

AWW ****! That's just my luck. I inadvertently picked my favourite, Go Insane. Not fair But I cannot defy the Ip Dip Gods for they are vengeful Gods (lol). So unfortunately....regretfully....very hesitantly......I suppose...Go Insane.

I am very proud of you for being so brave

As a dedicated fan of Lindsey's work we will find a redeeming tune or two in each cd !
Such broad statements will not make us
disparage our most admired guitarists catalogue
of songs! Which friend do you admire the most?
All of ours have different traits we really like !!!


We are faithful to his work and do not care to vote! This is our Lindsey Buckingham creed!!!

[erwk05]

its interesting to see that no one has picked GOS!!!!!

[Tellurium]

I've been really naughty and voted even though I've never actually heard Law and Order. Whoops! But I went with Go Insane, but I do love it. Half of it is really great (Play in the Rain is earsex), but the other half I find a bit more in the pleasant-but-meh scheme of things.

Under the Skin was the album that got me into Lindsey's work in the first place. At the time I wasn't overly familiar with his catalogue, so I didn't really have a sense of how challenging (?) it might be for his fanbase. The mixed reception it gets is really interesting to me, but I still think of it as a masterpiece.

I do NOT understand how anybody could've voted for Out of the Cradle. Each to their own, eh?

That makes one of us. I just feel terribly dirty now for voting at all, when I find none of his work worthy of a negative thought. But then again, I haven't yet heard the new album Not that I expect it to break the trend at all

You know? After reading this, I'm just simply sorry for the fact that I voted. Because I totally agree with you. I play all those albums pretty frequently. But Tusk still the most. For 32 years.

I voted for Law & Order. I've tried to like it, really I have, but it just doesn't take me anywhere, as opposed to OOTC.

The first time I heard OOTC I was on a train, and popped the CD into my discman. Pure bliss. I was not on that train anymore. I was in musical nirvana. Despite some of the dark themes on that album, it always makes me so happy when I listen to it.

I am impressed that Gift of Screws has no votes. That's saying a lot for the latest release of a veteran musician.

[TerraRhiannon]

uh... I voted for Gift Of Screws cause I read the question wrong. Disregard that... *shifty eyes* lol

Great taste can not be explained.

Tusk will always be my favorite FM album. You can't touch that kind of genius.

And I didn't vote...I simply can't. It's Lindsey. His music simply brings me too much joy to vote for a least favorite album. Meh.
